A Glimpse of the Sunrise from the Water’s Edge

[Part I]

[Verse 1: Kole Xidas]
Ice cold room, pain in my throat as I leave my tomb
Eye twitches, lookin' right at you, I'll see you at the ICU
I don’t know why you looked my way, your empty promises fill my brain
Can’t see your eyes as you swear “Always”, can’t trust your lips when they kiss the rain
Look in the mirror, but I don’t see me, only whatever you want me to be
Constantly shiftin', I got no foundation, the void opens up and I dream of damnation
Nirvana’s Gate on a distant shore, but the tides are gone, so I’m done for
Driftin' about on the aimless seas, waitin' out for the nameless bees
To take me away to flowers of purple, while I tread water, swimmin' in circles
Pointlessly fightin' against my fate, keep my eyes open so I don’t see your face
December nights feelin’ more painful than they did before
Flashbacks of you gettin' so difficult to ignore
Yet my memories of your voice get harder to remember
Why can’t the beauty last forever?
Give up the fight, embrace the Loop-

[Interlude: Jonathon & Famkii]
Shoot-shoot-shoot-shoot
How-How-How are you doing?
You-You-You know every-ry-rything
How-How-How long has this been going on for-for-for-for?”
I-I don’t-don't know-know
I don’t-don't-don't get it
May-May-Maybe I do-do-do-do

[Part II]

[Verse 2: Kole Xidas]
One number haunts my dreams, but still, I won’t admit it
This cycle beats me down despite how much that I resist it
I got this endless obsession with unreachable perfection
In my search for the truth, I’ve made my own deceptions
Trying to confess that my reality is a lie
Maybe if I let the truth out, I could start feelin' alive
Or perhaps I could escape back to last July
When I had some aspirations, high off of my own supply
I don’t want to waste my time with you any longer
But yet, I keep on zonin' out, and I’m left to ponder
Why I continue to squander my time hung up on the past
Holdin' on so desperately like it’s my only raft
Let down so many times, I’ve given up on expectations
Stupid fucking LIMBA, shit’s become a fixation
Words are running low, losin' meanin' and my purpose
Start to question if I fought for your love in earnest
Exhaustion catchin' up to me, shit’s like 3 AM
Worried I’ll push those who love me away again
Or perhaps I already have and this is the result
As a kid, always wishin’ that I could be an adult
Cigarettes out on the dash as I swerve from lane to lane
Vision obscured from all of the fallin' rain
Windshield wipers busted, left seein' through the droplets
Tryin' my hardest just to keep my only promise
Yet my memories of your voice get harder to remember
Why can’t the beauty last forever?
Fightin' for my life, or is it yours? I’m not quite sure
Either way, don’t know how much longer I can endure
But in the end, it all comes down to this unspoken truth:
I’ll never fucking escape from inside The Broken-

[Part III]

[Outro: Logan Alexander (as a voiceover for network promo) & Kole Xidas]
Sundays, this Fall
Reunite with the man who's unlike anyone you've ever seen on television
We've seen him overcome countless foes and obstacles
But now, he has to take on his greatest challenge yet:
The Broken Loop
His name is Kole Xidas
Will he be able to escape from inside The Broken Loop?
Find out Sunday, this Fal-
*tape ejected*
*sighs*
Fuck...
